By using an incisive approach, the authors show for the first time that - once the BCR comes up on the cell surface - pre-existing SLP-65 and Syk are brought into the more susceptible state for phosphorylation.

J Exp Med. 189:1999;123-129. Using an active Ras transgene on a Rag-null background, the authors show for the first time that not only the pre-B cell stage but also more mature B cell stages are reconstituted by the active Ras.

47. Δc/Δc mice harboring the double transgenes show rearrangements of endogenous κ light chain, presumably reflecting receptor editing and/or apoptosis. Furthermore, since BCR-mediated calcium mobilization and tyrosine phosphorylation are augmented in the mutant mice, the authors suggest that this increased signaling strength leads to selection of editing/apoptosis rather than anergy.
